The Liberation Of Auschwitz - Bringing Freedom To The Death Camp

- During the Holocaust, Auschwitz would be transformed and developed into a huge and disturbing complex to carry out the evil extermination of those who the Nazis deemed to have been racially inferior. It would be where over 1 million people would perish inside the gas chambers, or from the horrific cruelty and horrendous conditions that the prisoners were held inside. Towards the end of World War 2, the Allies and the Red Army would advance into Nazi-occupied territory and would come across the true evils of the Holocaust, stumbling across different concentration camps.
It would be the Soviets or the Red Army who would on the 27th January 1945 enter Auschwitz, the largest concentration camp of the Holocaust. What they would find is what the Nazis would leave behind, thousands of prisoners who were just abandoned and not forced onto death marches towards Germany. These prisoners were left to starve, but in the fierce fighting around the camp, a number of Soviet soldiers would die. Over 200 were killed in the fighting to liberate the camp, and once inside the true horrors of the Holocaust would be told.
The Red Army would quickly attempt to provide care for those prisoners, but they were also met with a huge number of dead bodies just left inside the camp. Disease and starvation was rife at the camp, and initially testimonies would be told about the experiments, the experimentations and the brutal punishments and beatings administered by the guards. Auschwitz would be the largest camp of the Holocaust, but during World War 2 it would be one of many liberated.

They are. That's how I learned of this atrocity. Our school posted photos of the mass graves the Allies found. My high school was in a very conservative area and very openly made sure we learned of this horror against people.
They are
In New Zealand; they are.
@@thepoppyvalentine But not in Germany I'd wager
People forget. Look what is happening now in whole world 🌎
Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. These documentaries are so incredibly important.
Now we have blue head children calling people Nazis because they refuse to call boys girls. And people attacking the statues of winston Churchill
I've heard that statement so many times but it's not true. It's still going on in parts of the world.
That is actually a pretty false quote. Those who do know history are the ones who repeats it.
In general, YES but the Holocaust is such a large event in the World's history I doubt anyone would "forget" it even if they tried to. There are some thing you can't "unsee". And additionally, the world would NOT allow this to be forgotten. In fact, Germany has made some laws regarding the Holocaust illegal, such as denying that it took place.
@@HR-wd6cw both Germany and Japan had a reckoning within themselves and took actions in the past and even in the present that have and will prevent this from happening again at their hands. This is something so many other countries could take note of and learn from!
The little kids holding out their arms and showing their numbers, just heartbreaking
I actually found one of the kids stories unfortuently I forgot her name but she was one of the youngest survivors
just heartbreaking..no... necessary when u have hyndreds of 1000s of people in internment...ID cards wouldnt have worked...or would u have preferred these little kids to get lost from their mothers and not know how to reunite them?......critical thinking isnbt one of ur strong points is it
@@WillyEckaslike You really think the Nazis tattooed children so they wouldn't get lost from their mothers and could be reunited with them? Ridiculous.

“Work will set you free” Absolutely disgusting and barbaric.
I agree 100%
I've been to Israel on a tour including Yad Vashem (Holocaust Memorial Museum). Israel is a beautiful country to visit and nothing like what you see on television....
What’s kinda weird is that some people did get released from the camps
Including Corrie Ten Boom who was released due to a clerical error not long before all women her age were gassed at Ravensbrück
She was the only survivor of her family with her sister and centenarian father dying in the camp as martyrs
Agree 100%
The original corporate motto.
Can you imagine fighting your way across Europe only to arrive at a concentration camp? And being limited in what you could do for those poor people? It had to be freezing, too. I marvel at that generation.
IIRC, the Americans or British accidentally **bombed** one of the camps. I think they thought it was a barracks or plant of some sort. Imagine how THEY felt. Then, when the Americans made their way in, they had no way to take all of the people who'd survived the last extermination by the time the camp guards had to run and left them to starve - they had to get shut right back up in the camps until enough help arrived (though they were fed and cared for as much as possible).
My dad talked about this and other veteran mates of his as well. As horrifying as the camps were to new soldiers, they were equally horrific to veterans.
Also, it was either Patton or Ike who knew that the Germans and their supporters would immediately deny the existence or the extent and true purpose of the camps that they all had just abandoned. He had the army immediately document and photograph as much as they could, since the Nazis had burned almost all of the papers on site in an attempt to erase the evidence of what they did. Some of these survivors were absolutely key to recording the true history of what happened and, later, capturing escaped perps.
@@brianfuller7691 Yes my father told me many stories of the war. He was a strong man both physically and mentally. He also told me that he was asked to go to Bergen Belsen as witness to what had been going on there. He didn't tell me very much about the horrors there though. War is one thing but the extermination of harmless people is both shocking and tragic.
I have a book by Banksy, the graffiti artist, which quotes from the diary of Lt Col Mervin Willett Gonin who was among British soldiers to liberate Bergen-Belsen. I'll part quote some here: "a woman standing stark naked washing herself with issue soap in water from a tank in which the remains of a child floated."
Then this: "shortly after the Red Cross arrived...a very large quantity of lipstick arrived. This was not what the men wanted, we were screaming for hundreds and thousands of things and I don't know who asked for lipstick.... It was the action of genius, sheer unadulterated brilliance. Women lay in bed with no sheets and no nightie but with scarlet red lips.... I saw a woman dead on the post mortem table and clutched in her hand was a piece of lipstick. At last someone had done something to make them individuals again, they were someone, no longer merely the number tattooed on their arm. At last they could take an interest in their appearance.
That lipstick started to give them back their humanity".
Makes me cry!
The world must never forget. These videos must always be produced for new generations to learn and never forget.
There are still genocide taking place tho...
@@Christof_The_Great17 yes there are and I am afraid there will be more but we most not forget the past or we are definitely doomed to repeat it. I can not comprehend how ppl can treat others like this they are animals themselves. Disgusting and sad.
Amazing photage of the liberated survivors.
I don't understand how the number of 6,000,000 deaths as the number of Jewish people in Germany and Poland was about 4 Million , thousands survived the concentration camps , thousands fled during the Conflict to Palestine and the Western nation's ??
I'm not a denier that there where thousands killed in the camps it just doesn't make mathematical sense and it has become a taboo subject and apparently illegal in some countries
@@fouadmas5413 You have to count people in Russia, eastern Europe as well.
Tell North Korea and China this to never forget
Something that I really respect about the Red Army soldiers who liberated Auschwitz is that they treated the liberated prisoners with respect. They were truly shocked to see women, children and elderly, not expected as "war prosoners" and specially under those conditions.
They focused on liberating them and getting them the urgent medical care they so much needed.
With the information provided by some survivors, they immediately wanted to reach more victims to dafe and potentially liberate more camps.
They didn't care about "publicity", like the US, who used the survivors as "memento mori" and grotesque propaganda. They immediately went to do their job.
Great respect to the Red Army liberators.
I highly recommend to see/read the testimmonies of Red Army Liberators of Auschwitz Mr. David Dushman (of Jewish decent, who passed away on 2021 at the age of 98) and Mr. Ivan Martynushkin, currently aged 99 yo and believed to be the last surviving liberator of Auschwitz.
До Освенцима Красная Армия освободила еще 5концлагерей в Польше (майданек, собибор, треблинка, хельмно)
I am glad that the US filmed and made it public knowledge about the horrors that happened in those death camps. All of the soldiers were there to help the people.
@@flashflame4952американцы поступили как люди
Your people assaulted all the women and children. @@user-ez8es8gm8q
@@flashflame4952Why then, the USA didn't filmed the atrocities committed on 731 butan in Manchuria, by the Imperial Japanese doctors and cut a deal with them for the (illegal) human experimentation information with them?
I'm obviously talking about the higher ups, not the drafted soldiers.
The Red Army was going to get the people involved with 731-butan to Martial Court, yet you see, that didn't happen.
If you're ever having a bad day remember that things like this happen in this world and we take a lot for granted stay humble
Exactly....Just when you think you've got it bad, there's always someone else whose got it worse :(
I remember in 1986, PBS released Frontline: memory of the camps. I was a senior in highschool... The next day I raised my hand in world history, and asked why we were not taught about the Holocaust?? I was sent to the principal office, and scolded and I didn't know why... From that day on, I have been fascinated by WW2 and the Holocaust... My grandfather fought in WW2 and would refuse talking About it, but gave me several Nazi medals.... It bothers me to think that people call each other Nazis, and say stuff in reference of the Holocaust, without knowing what they are talking about... I'm a proud Polish American..... We must Never Forget, Ever!!!
Something similar to this is going on right now in China, ever hear of the weigers (I don’t know how to spell their name). What is the world doing about this, what are we doing? Buying more products from China, that’s what.
@@RetiredLover I heard about it... Not too much information on it, because of China..
This should be taught in school. The truth of this should be taught all over the world I’m hopes this never allow this to happen again. Makes me sick how long the world took to respond to what they were hearing was going on in Germany.
You must have had a liberal Nazi teacher.
yes it also happened in the former Yugoslavia early 1990s
Cruel inhumane animals. Separating children from their parents. Let it never be forgotten
Do not EVER demean animals, for they are the innocent ones here, abused and cruelly mistreated for thousands of years, always loyal, but always ashamedly abused. It is mankind that needs to be unequivocal condemned wholeheartedly, for, since the beginning of time, man has been always on the breadth of death and destruction, never seemingly able to openly share ones belongings, always, at the drop of a hat, able to easily expose hatred to a fellow human being. and not able at all to love another human being without reservation. So CLEARLY right here is a species that is to be abhorred, and NOT loved at all. And the real tragedy is that cursed thing called religion makes excuses for of all of this demonic behaviour, all the while knowing that mankind is misanthropy by nature, and if there were a god, we would not be such a violent species, love would be universal, and CLEARLY it is not. God Delusion is a cancer, and if I were to stand in Times Square loudly exclaiming my personal relationship with Zeus, I'd for sure see the inside of a padded cell with a matter of hours! So, be sure, most people are misanthropists, they are simply being disingenuous when they argue the opposite, Tartuffes, simply put. The sloth in the rainforest is COMPLETLY innocent, whereas mankind is forever seeking death and destruction, and therefore, no other species on this earth is more deserving of a complete and utter annihilation than the human species, so that the planet can regain it's natural order. Oh, and if you religious nuts are retarded to come back on this, which I know you will, your god should be tried for high crimes and misdemeanour's, worse than Hitler for sure.
@@socialcapricorn6042 I'm a Christian,but I'm not going to come back at you. I agree with most of what you said. Humans are the worst. Untold cruelty throughout history on fellow humans and animals. I accidentally watched a fat pig of a man skin a mink alive for its pelt. I had no idea what was going on till it was over and will never forget the horrifying screams of that poor baby and the callous attitude of that piece of garbage excuse for a human. That was over 30 years ago. He could have at least killed the poor creature so it wouldn't suffer any longer, but he threw it to the ground like trash. However, I will say this. While religion has caused countless wars and untold millions of deaths because people believed differently than the almighty warmongering idol worshipping Catholic church or the Protestant churches, none of those were commissioned by God. He gave us freewill to worship or believe in or not. There's a reason we're in this terrible world and it's not his fault. I'm not going to preach because I know your feelings and respect them and certainly can't blame you since religions are creating their own downfall. I do want you to know that God will hold them accountable and likens them to a great harlot called Babylon the Great. I also want to say that although Hitler was raised Catholic and the hypocritical church blessed his troops and followed his lead to save their own skins with a few exceptions of some caring Priests who died in the camps, Hitler was a Pagan. From what I've learned this wasn't started because of religion. Socialism, Communism, and Fascism have killed hundreds of millions also. Also, going back to animals. We're told in the Bible to take care of them lovingly and not to be abusive. I prefer being with my dog or cat because of their unrequited love. Well, maybe not cats so much lol. 🐱🐈

And yet we have Palestine today ?
Too much pain, sorrow and death.... Unimaginable...! 😞
And to think we have people who claim this never happened...I just wish it hadn't. Heartbreaking
The people 'claiming' this atrocity never happened are the same people who perpetrated it. Today they go after the poor and low-income. Call them out, even in public, wherever you see them, whenever you encounter them. The reason they managed atrocity in the first place is that nobody spoke up against these self-knowing societal freaks. Speak up!
@@RideAcrossTheRiver well said and look what china is doing now, i have a bad feeling china is quickly becoming the next third reich, we all need to stand by taiwan
When people say that it’s very insulting to those who survived it. I can’t imagine that level of ignorance.
No they don't you just don't understand what people think
It’s the right wing. Which is why we must fight against fascism (conservatives, libertarians, traditionalists, white nationalists)
My father remembered and when he experienced a loss of a child later in life, he had a nervous breakdown and he had horrible PTSD and could only think he didn't do enough. God Bless all our men who remember always I am sure.
The Russians were really great liberators. They were overwhelmed. Eva Kor, a child in the front of the famous picture showing their numbers, survivor of Mengele, said the Russians showed love. Showed love. Internalize that - given the situation, it's phenomenal.
The Russians had themselves suffered so much that they had nothing, but empathy left.
Did you know right after ww2 ended the Soviet Union put nazis into the same camps that the nazis put the Jews in?
Yes , well said , right now there is a lot of hate for Russians due to the war with Ukraine , these Russian soldiers who liberated this camp are quite simply Heroes ALL !!
@@MadderMel the Russians who liberated the camps have nothing to do with the modern Russian government intent on brutalizing Ukraine. Modern atrocities don't affect the past good actions.

I know what you mean. It makes me wonder how many seemingly normal people today would behave the same way if circumstances were different.
You'd think it would be difficult to find enough people to staff so many concentration camps, but history says otherwise.
@@raygiordano1045 And that gives me cold chills to think of it. Who would've believed mankind was capable of such cruelty? How did a seemingly civilised society turn into monsters? Could it happen again? I know genocides have happened before and since the holocaust, but could we ever be capable of industrialised murder again? Are we still capable of it? These questions are terrifying and yet they must be asked. Lest we forget.
@@Whoa_Lisa yes, it's a pretty terrifying thing to contemplate.
My aunt n uncle are surely capable of this

I've been to Auschwitz twice, just to see it for myself.
It is absolutely heartbreaking to see it in person. The sheer size of the whole operation.
And still, there are "people" kissing, taking selfies and laughing (mainly 90 and later gen kids), which is absolutely despicable.
I once asked a girl in Auschwitz to stop laughing, and all I got was a middlefinger. I hope Karma gives her what she deserves...
It’s because they don’t get it. They’ll never understand. Entitlement started to rear its head around the late 90’s I think.
Unfortunately, we have done a splendid job of raising a generation of morons
No respect 😒/. Some people are heartless
She's a young stupid kid who probably hasn't had anyone close to her die yet. That was quite rude though and I hate the middle finger on anyone but it seems to look worse on females. Did the guide ever say anything to her?
Deve ser alemã
I can not imagine the horrors those first soldiers must have encountered upon arrival.The scenes must have haunted them for ever.The Russians were a tough fighting army but those scenes would reduce you to tears.These horrors must be shown,human on human,,,,makes your heart cry for all those poor innocents,may they all R.I.P.🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
Many of the guards were executed immediately when the liberators discovered their crimes.
The Soviets themselves didn't have clean hands, so I doubt they felt a whole lot about it. And not to mention that they did rape some of the survivors.
@@tylerbozinovski427
Does frontline troops = NKVD guards for you? Lol, if there exists government and it's loyal squads that are sending people to the camps it doesn't mean the whole nation is like that. Regular soldiers have nothing in common with soviet camps.
Besides, might I ask you: are you sane? Who the hell on earth would rape survivors from concentration camps?! Where did you got that from?!
I can understand when someone talks about «mass» rapings of civilians (it's something what did allies and soviets both). But concentration camps prisoners? Are you joking?
@@aaltuxov When did I say anything about the NKVD guards? I'm very well aware that they were not on the front lines and instead behind them ensuring that they didn't retreat.
@@aaltuxov And yes. There were some rapes here and there by the occasional horny drunk. Assuming that there were none is as ludicrous as assuming the opposite (that every survivor was raped).
But I get it. You're clearly a Russian who can't come to terms with your ancestors' atrocities.
When the Soviets liberated maideniek the BBC would not publish the story because they did not believe it, in spite of the fact the British government knew the stories were true.
Very good video that focuses on the Soviet liberation. Western education seems to have forgotten that part, especially nowadays.

where was god when this was happening
@@georgestokes5116 Don't tell these religious 💩 anything.
They say the same thing everywhere 'God Bless this/that'.
But where was the god when they were suffering?
On this day in 1945, Soviet troops came across survivors of, and liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp, the largest concentration camp of the Holocaust.
At first, the camp looked empty and lifeless, but it wasn’t. The troops weren’t given orders liberate the camp, nor have they ever heard of it, so when the troops arrived, they were shocked and absolutely horrified to find over 7,000 heavily malnourished prisoners who were left to die in the concentration camp in awful conditions. The now free prisoners all hugged, kissed, and cried.
Some heartbroken Soviet soldiers stayed behind with Polish Red Cross workers to set up hospitals; they spend months aiding the living, and attempting to save those who were close to death. At least 500 of the 4,500 patients died.
We must learn from this, history is extremely important! I believe every person should be more aware of the details of the Holocaust because perhaps it could make them be more mature, and more humble.
Absolutely horrific. My dad was a paratrooper over France. He saw some really sickening sights (that he rarely spoke about) on his way to help liberate Paris! Thank you for uploading and sharing!
I imagine he is referring to the Allied powers bombing the hell out of France and its civilian population (and Europeans all over Europe) in their quest of "liberating a suffering humanity."
How many homes did he loot and how many POWs did he murder?
@@michaelwhisman
Probably not as many as the Air Force of both the British and American forces bombed and killed in their so called “liberation of Paris.” Hell, the Germans left Paris untouched from any bombings. So, any destruction or sickening sights he saw is more then likely from the Allied Powers own doing.
Lol exactly what horrors did he see in France 😂😂😂
With respect. I think your dad is telling porky pies... No paratroopers liberated Paris... From USA it was the 4th infantry division.
The French couldn't do anything. The French and Italian were worthless
I had a patient in Los Angeles County Hospital that survived Auschwitz. The numbers tatooed on his arm weren't done neatly like they show in movies. He was a nice man.
Guess he made himself his own tattoo. They realised that they get addored like Gods by uneducated folk in the US.
I hope u took extra special care of him
This can happen agian. As a world we must always be vigilant and never assume humans are not capably of this kind of evil intent. Absolute power is what we must look out for.
It has happened many times since.
Now phones make us stupid and ignorant. lets be carefull
MrMagicJs, if the present regime running Washington, DC, had it's way this would be happening all across the US to anyone that opposes their crooked and evil schemes. I have no doubt in my mind that Pelosi and Jezebel Clinton would do it and never lose a moment's sleep.
The world isn’t responsible for Germany.

Majdanek is pronounced Maydanek. It was an extermination camp situated just outside of the city of Lublin in eastern Poland. It was a horrific place, with guards as cruel and brutal as in Auschwitz. It was liberated in July 1944, before the Germans had time to kill or evacuate the prisoners. The inmates actually went to sleep under German guard and woke up to find Soviet soldiers securing the camp. The crematorium was still working
Oh dear... Majdanek was not an extermination camp, the Russians lied like they did with the death toll at Auschwitz. It went from 1.5mil at wars end to 79000 , care to comment?
@@mrfireblade900cc It just has a mountain of human ashes by it. It was liberated with bodies outside the crematorium. Tell your lies to others, we will keep telling the truth

@@dextermorgan7439 They know that.
This video brought tears to my eyes. I visited Auschwitz around two years ago. Inside the structure which was a gas chamber, some people took pictures. I did not as I didn't want it in my camera. Another strong memory was the site where Hoess was executed. He was hanged between his luxurious living quarters where he entertained his guests and the murder site. While people would be gassed and their poor bodies burned, he'd be entertaining his guests. This was a very strong presentation. Thank you.
"He was hanged between his luxurious living quarters where he entertained his guests and the murder site"
ROFL! When people like Eleanor Kett claim to have visited Auschwitz and then post such nonsense one must ask oneself: "Where have they been and who told them such fairy tale?" Obviously PiS-trained Polish guides.
FYI: Hoess was hanged on the grounds were the camp Gestapo building stood before (which burned down during an investigation upon corruption by camp staff). And Hoess wasn´t a party man at all, he didn´t give parties in his house (luxurious ) or entertained them. Neither is the execution place located between his house and the camp. The buildings on the other side were the construction building office, the SS-infirmary, etc.. The camp itself begins behind this building after the wire.
May we never forget the Red Army who fought for our freedom!
ROFL. They didn´t fight for your freedom but to concquer Europe. That´s when the uSA realised that they wouldn´t get a piece of the cake and also started an invasion in June 44.

I wandered round the outside area, I saw an abandoned factory in the woods off the main road back to the Osweicim main railway station, I wonder if this was part of the factory complex of the camp at Auschwitz. Another worthwhile video thank you
This must never happen in this world again.
It is though
Thanks for this video. It's important to remember what evil is capable of doing. It's also helpful to put human context to my visit of Auschwitz several years ago.
Primo Levi was in the infirmary that day. He went on to write, 'If this is a man'
The thing is nearly all of the Germans, Hungarians, Austrians, Czechs, Polish, etc people involved got away with it. Moreso with the Germans who were seen and valued for their professionalism, efficiency, knowledge, workmanship and robot-like ability to get things done. Nearly all of them were hired in other parts of the world, and climbed the ladders of seniority and advanced standing wherever they were. Part of it is the German culture, maybe as a result of early fascist regimes. The Nazi's almost to a man and 100 percent save a few token hangings got away with all the atrocities.
ROFL. Tell us what your country did to save Jewish refugees!

And there are still people in the US saying "we defeated the wrong enemy! Boo hoo we should have armed the germans and marched to Moscow."
There is a reason why the Red army dealt so viciously with the german population, I am not supporting their violence but what do you expect when the German army went and killed more than 20 million of the Soviet citizens. Americans only lost a few hundred thousand in all of ww2, and almost all of them were soldiers, the Soviets lost entire cities, entire families, and whoever else was in the Germans' way. The British and the Americans will never understand that suffering and pain, and since Germany became a NATO ally after the war, so now Germany is good and USSR was the true evil all along, because that suits the narrative.
What the USSR did to its own people was far worse than what the Nazis did to them.
@@RejectedRecords1998 Showing your ignorance
Comments like this show that Stalin shouldn't have stopped at Berlin.
My grandparents both survived Auschwitz and Bergen Belsen... Buried together as they were married shortly after they had been liberated. Their tombstone has the words NEVER FORGET. In hebrew and english on the back of it.
Thanks for telling.
Absolutely horrible, those poor men, women and children treated like cattle going for slaughter 😢.
These should also be shown to those who are in denial of it happening, including some political figures. Having been to Dachau and Sauchenhausen, I have seen the living conditions they were forced to live under. I have seen the mounds and mounds of hair, shoes, luggage, eyeglasses, clothing, crutches, etc... It was very humbling and brought tears to my eyes as well as others.
I have also heard firsthand the story of a woman who was 16 and a ballerina when she was interred in Aushwitz, was forced to dance for the Nazis and probably saved her life. To compare the vaccine mandates to the Holocaust is just downright ridiculous and hurtful to those who survived as well as those who perished at the hands of the Nazis. Vaccines help people whereas the Nazis were a killing machine who sought to rid the world of people that were" different."
Delusional, emotive nonsense
@@mrfireblade900cc just because you don't believe it happened doesn't mean it didn't. I feel sorry for you.
@@kimkeller5155 first I never said I don't believe so stop with the assumptions, in fact you haven't a clue what I think. However, shoes, glasses, hair, suitcases only prove people were there, nothing more. I've been to many camps including Auschwitz but your claim that you feel sorry for me is risible.
@@mrfireblade900cc Yes...people were there. Millions who died at the hands of Nazis due to torture, beatings, starvation, killings due to being gassed, and shot execution style, etc... Since you have been to Auschwitz, the
pictures, and the living conditions which these people were forced to live in should speak for itself. Yes, people were there, so, think about what it was like for them. It was NOT a life of luxury.
The part about vaccines, i think its an exaggeration but people point out that authoritarianism is rising. After all the vaccine was experimental and pfizer has a criminal history
Hell on earth..let's never forget.
I visited Dachau and Matthausen a few years back. I spent a few days going through what's been preserved of those camps and reading the stories of those who suffered therein. Event though I could see and comprehend all the evidence for the Nazis' horrific crimes, to this day, I still have not been able to internalize the hideous reality and it still feels so unreal. I know and accept that the holocaust did indeed occur, but I find it impossible to feel its reality in my heart. God rest the souls of all those who perished so unjustly.
You god has been found wanting
@@jimmurphy4703 Do just say that to Christians?
I've been to Auschwitz 4 times, and can testify that no picture or video can even come close to conveying just how sobering that murderous place is. Some of my distant family were gassed in Crematorium 2 at Birkenau in August 1944. They were some of the last to be murdered there. Even the size of Birkenau defies belief, it takes me 30 - 40 minutes to walk from one end to the other!
" Some of my distant family were gassed IN CREMATORIUM 2 at Birkenau in August 1944."
Don´t come up with such utter nonsense, please. As would anyone have documented in which crematorium/gas chamber people who just arrived were murdered.
The biggest war of the 20th Century has always facinated me from listening to my Grandad talking about his service in the RAF and we enjoyed watching war fims together ,
The actual holocaust i still find it hard to wrap my head around from the concentration camps and pogroms .Einzatzgruppens crimes against civilians ,its very hard to imagine how awful it was for these poor people ,families its just evil incarnate like the devil himself was let loose to cause as much havoc chaos and misery as possible .Some suffererd for years and a few were fortunate enough to be liberated although the horror of that time would haunt them
Very brutal evil stuff .what humans can do to each other is f kd up and scary
Did your Granddad tell you about that the RAF bombed a subcamp of the concentration camp Dora-Mittelbau, the Boelcke barracks, on April 3rd & 4th 1945?? Only a few weeks before WWII did ed in Europe!
Result: MORE THAN 1000 PRISONERS KILLED BY THE RAF, ON THE EDGE OF THEIR LIBERATION!
HEARTBREAKING . god bless all who died and those who survived these terrible atrocities🕯
Ad jammed into the middle of this horrific heartrending account: "if you're trying to lose bellyfat......". Wake up UA-cam and cop onto your advertising policy. Please !!!
My step grandmother was a prisoner at Auschwitz - Buchenwald, her crime? Being Polish and my step grandfather being a calvary officer in the Polish Army.
Liberating concentration camps is probably the only case where the Red Army showing up actually was an improvement for the people concerned.
Why do you say that? What the Americans, British and French showing up?
@@kurzeful Google is your friend Greg. Look up "Russian atrocities during WW2".
@@moistmike4150 To be fair, at this point in the war the western front was just America and Britain deleting cities off the map.
I mean, they did liberate all of Eastern Europe from a country that had plans to exterminate almost everybody there and use the rest as slave labor. As bad the USSR was under Stalin, I imagine a Nazi Eastern Europe would have been much worse for the people there.
@@isaacpeachey8609 The Soviets were "better" than the Nazis in the fact that they didn't plan to eliminate entire populations of people due to their ethnicity, but then again, the Communists killed 10s of millions more than the Nazis ever did. Hard to say who was "more evil" when historically unprecedented levels of genocide are being perpetrated on both sides.
😭😭😭😭😭should never never forget!
I'm 45. I still can't understand. Thanks for your videos.
They throw around the term nazi. They should watch this.
Please, never again.
The Thousand Year Reich lasted but a mere twelve years, sometimes evil finds a way of consuming itself.
Some of the film taken of the living prisoners was actually taken a couple weeks after they were liberated. They were so close to death they needed medical attention right away, and were asked if they would go back so they could film it and show the world how bad it was.
My late uncle Raymond who was a minesweeper during WW2 ACTUALLY saw Auschwitz! He said that many of his men went insane when they saw the horrors that the Nazis had done to innocent people! Even he was haunted by those scenes for years.
Would really like it if you did one on when the allies made some of the german citizens enter the concentration camps. I saw some but seemed very brief like 2-3 minutes. I find that very interesting because with so many saying they didn't know what was going on and then being forced to see exactly what was going on I can only imagine seeing something you've denied for so long at least publicly.
These camps were purposefully built in rural areas and were kept very secretive. Had most Germans known, there likely would have been a revolution in Germany. Hitler was not nearly as popular as you would think. He ruled by fear.
"Would really like it if you did one on when the allies made some of the german citizens enter the concentration camps. I saw some but seemed very brief like 2-3 minutes. I find that very interesting"
You find it interesting that the US-authorities FORCED the townspeople (between them even minors and toddlers!) of Weimar to walk through the concentratin camp Buchenwald and forced them to the morgue? Weird that someone can find a violation of the Geneva Conventions "interesting".
IMHO, all those responsible for this crime should have faced a court martial!
@@wzukr yes I do gonna cry about it kraut 😂😂😢😢
Praise the Allies and the Red Army
They are the same thing. Both are Allies
I hate Churchill for what he did to India. No sympathy for the British Empire.
I've been there and you can smell death!!!!!!!
I've heard that people can have very strange reactions to the shock of the reality of the concentration camps such as either laughing and crying at the same time or crying hysterically. Did you witness this at all? I know it's an odd question. It's something that someone else who had visited the concentration camps told me and I found it odd but I've always wondered if it's true.
@@Whoa_Lisa you can’t smell death, unless you’ve an over active imagination. I didn’t witness any visible upset, however it’s a heavy emotional experience. The main Auschwitz camp is a harrowing experience, especially seeing that sign above the gate. The tour guides are fantastic but it can feel rushed. If you think that camp is bad it’s nothing compared to visiting Birkenau, the vast emptiness of the camp really gives you a good idea of the size, it’s huge!. It’s difficult to explain tbh, I’m a soldier so the main camp looks pretty much like most army camps (it was a Polish artillery barracks before the war), you know horrible, horrendous things happened there but when you stand in Birkenau you realise this camp was built purely to murder people. You stand on the same tracks looking back towards the entrance building and they’re the same tracks and buildings you’ve seen in every documentary, and you can’t help but think of the million and more who were murdered there. They’re well worth a visit
Watching every documentary of the holocaust my heart aches 😢 I can't hold back my tears. Some of 13 hundreds jews found refuge in my beloved humble country the Philippines 🇵🇭
I can feel there pain. What these people must have gone through
Some people that you can see in this video seemed to be very traumatised. Poor people 😥 They saw and lived hell in earth 😱 At a moment you can see a woman with a little bun, and another woman next to her seemed to have hair. They surely spent way too much time in this hell...
Respect to all who survived it, and prayers for all who died in those camps.
Never forget ! 🙏❤️
If you watch several of these videos and pay attention to the numbers given, you'll notice discrepancies from video to video. And if you take into account all of the townspeople in every city and town that the Germans invaded that they just lined up and shot en masse, you'll realize that the 6 million people murdered that is widely accepted as accurate, is no where near the actual death toll. After watching hundreds of these videos and documentaries for years, my estimation of innocent civilians slaughtered, of all nationalities, by the Germans during the second world war, not counting soldiers killer in battle, is more in the neighborhood of 15 Million. Absolutely atrocious. It is mind boggling that mankind has the capability of possessing the amount of evil that it would take to commit such crimes against our own..Simply incomprehensible. And what's even worse, is that several countries knew about alot of the events taking place, and chose not to act. The U S. Being one of those countries. And don't even get me started about Eugenics and all of the sick, deformed, and mentally ill patients who were killed even before the Nazis started the second world war..I think once a Nationality reaches a certain number of dead they are directly responsible for, then that Nationality( Nazi German) should forfeit their right to existence, with all the full blooded of that race being exterminated, as they attempted to do to the Jews simply cuz they viewed them as inferior. Thatd fuckin teach em, and I bet we'd never repeat that awful shit ever again...
Auschwitz literally was hell on Earth.
My niece is there this week on holiday visiting all this 🇬🇧🧚
N'oublions jamais et il nous faut transmettre au futures générations.
Plus jamais ça.
Thank you so much for sharing with me an infamous fragment of the Hitler's Nazi horrendous regimen, via this documentary
It must have been a painful odyssey to recollect such memories and to recount them; they only echo the evilness of Hitler and his followers.
The crimes and cruelties committed against my sons and daughters, my fathers and mothers, my brothers and sisters hurt me deeply, regardless their ethnicity and nationality.
In Isaiah 2: 4, Jehovah God, the Creator and Source of life, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, promises:
"He will be judge among the nations and will settle matters in relation to many peoples. They will turn their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. The nations will no longer raise their swords against each other and learn no more to wage war."
My immediate neighbors are Jews and I am a Jehovah's Witness.
Their hearts are superior than pure gold by far. They are extremely kind.
The gentleman takes care of my trash can every Wednesday without my asking him to do so. They are lovely human beings, and they are not in need of the smallest improvement.
I have a young son and any time there are footage of children in these clips I have to look away. I can’t understand the killing of men and women but it’s a whole new level of not understanding how someone could just murder so many innocent children.
It's heartbreaking, I can't even comprehend how someone could murder children too cruel
My goodness. The horror is repugnant
To all the people who keep saying that this never happened, they are liars!! As on commenter said, these videos need to be shown so we will never forget the horrors of a maniacs!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
OMG, OMG!!! What can be said!!!
Just for a bit of accuracy. "Canada" was not "blown up". There were multiple Canada sites in the complex (e.g., in the main Auschwitz camp as well as the Birkenau subcamp). Canada II was in Birkenau and it was comprised of 30 barracks. The SS set fire to these; they were still smoldering when the 47th Army of the 1st Belorusian Front arrived together with the Polish 2nd infantry division. The SS made sure to send the more valuable goods to Germany before torching these stores.
eternal glory to men and women of the Red Army who destroyed nazi war machine and ended Third Reich
But what they did to the Polish people afterwards wasn't really better. For the polish it was more like a change of management. But they were not treated better.
@@m.r4841 BS, during PRL polish nation grew from 24 million in 1944 to 40 MILLION IN 1989, build roads,hospitals,schools,housing,factories.farmers kept their land,churches were intacted and full of people,Poles were joining army, militia and border guards, I lived under socialism there, i know better than you idiot repeating propaganda

Alexander 👍👍👍👍🙂🇦🇺
You forgot to mention the boys who fought in the Red Army against the Germans
Not a word on other nations killed in the camps
Have I got this right. At 34 seconds is that a German soldier smiling as he helps an inmate.
A few days earlier he might have caused the poor woman some serious harm.
Excellent video....
My friend's mother was a holocaust survivor, she had the tattoo on her forearm.
😢
A tattoo means nothing. Many had them made after WWII.
@@wzukr You know absolutely nothing about this woman, to say something like this just shows your lack of compassion and understanding. You should be ashamed of yourself for making such an allegation.
🇵🇱🇮🇱 when you Tour Auschwitz your are literally walking on the ashes of people who died. When the Soviet Army got there bodies were stacked everywhere.
Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviets, not Americans. Americans liberated other camps though.
@@m.r4841 - yes your correct. I was thinking of all camps. I will correct my error. Thank you for pointing that out to me.
Mans heart is truly wicked about all else.
Never forget
This is why all Humanity must pull together for this never to happen again
Ever heard of the Khmer Rouge and the Killing Fields of Cambodia? Just one of the post-Auschwitz genocides!
Im still yet to understand how the holocaust is being denied…. Wish those ppl would have been there to see for themselves
Horrific even after all of these years to view these images.
+1 for referring to the Soviets and Nazis, as these were the regimes in control, and not as much the populations and people "Russians" and "Germans"
-1 for no mention of the Soviets also using on a massive scale death camps and death marches
